The modern athlete is an individual corporation. I'm not quite sure it's very good for sport, or good for team work, or those different things that sport says it's about. This is about business.

When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.

I took Hedo (Turkoglu) in the first game and Rashard (Lewis) hit the winning shot. I took Rashard in the second game and Hedo hit the shot. If I could clone myself, we'd be all right. But I can't.

I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.

I'm a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys - movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!
